The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Tarnos - La Digue over the next 16 days.
First off, I gotta be straight with you: this is a tough run. The water is sitting at a balmy 77°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, almost like bath water. The swell energy is weak for much of the outlook, and the wind is rarely on our side.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 28th of July. The morning kicks off with a clean 4ft swell from the northwest and a light offshore breeze from the east. It’s not a monster, but it’s the best we’ll see. The period is 10 seconds, which is decent, and the combined energy is moderate at 362. That afternoon, it holds up at 4ft with a clean cross-offshore wind. That’s the standout session of the whole fortnight.
Wednesday the 29th of July morning is glassy with a 4ft north-west swell, but the energy drops to 194, and the waves are just ordinary. The rest of the week after that? It’s a slow fade. From Thursday the 30th of July right through to the end of the first week, we’re looking at tiny, poor surf with onshore or cross-onshore winds chopping it up. The swell drops below 3ft and the energy readings are almost all below 100, which is weak.
The second week is no better. From the 2nd of August through to the 10th of August, the swell barely gets its head above 3ft. There’s a tiny bump on the 4th of August where the swell hits 4ft, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind is messy. The 5th of August morning looks clean from a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 3ft and the energy is just 115. It’s a surfable wave, but it’s very ordinary.
Honestly, for this part of the coast, the best option is to be keen on that Tuesday morning session. It’s the only time the stars line up. The break is fairly consistent, but it’s a beginner-friendly beach/jetty setup, so when the swell drops off, it goes flat quick. This is a long, quiet period for the area.
Rusty, signing off.
